360° panorama taken from the Nubble, a 2750 foot hill beneath Giant Mountain in the Adirondacks of New York. During a visit to the Nubble a month earlier, I made a handheld panorama of the west face of Giant Mountain (http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=5eee2d29-d29b-4b1a-9c8f-14ca41c15071). Tropical Storm Irene subsequently dumped 6-8 inches of rain here, so I was eager to see if I could detect any new landslide activity. The flood-damaged Route 73 and hiking trail just reopened, so I dropped the kid at school and was on top at 12:30PM. I did not noticed any fresh slide scars, but there are great photos of new slide paths on other Adirondack peaks here: http://adkbcski.com/2011/08/31/a-birds-eye-view-after-irene/
I got sunburned during a long Nubble lunch as the Epic 100 took 1630 photos on one set of 6 Eneloop AA batteries (I shot this panorama twice because I forgot to turn off VR [vibration reduction] the first time. The low battery indicator had not yet appeared when the second one finished).
A lower resolution half-spherical panorama from this location is here: http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=8899d22b-e2ef-4439-bb70-15635aba8f53
